I wonder how many people read my
blog who don’t know me in real life. Probably not many, but if you do, you
might like to know a few things about the person who slaves for hours for your
entertainment... and if you’re already a friend, you might discover something
new! So here are a few fun facts about Catherine Ann Minnock, to bridge the gap
between this theme and the next. (I’ve been busy, leave me alone).
I am incredibly lazy with some
things, and incredibly motivated with others. My essays for school are almost
always done on time, but I have been known to use the tumble-dryer as my
personal laundry basket because I can’t be bothered to sort out my clothes. If
I can do something online instead of going out, I will. That’s how I end up owning
a lot of clothes which very nearly fit.
I have a Costa Coffee Club card.
I have been to Costa Coffee once. That’s when they gave me the card.
You already know that I write
stories, but did you know that I have twice seen people who look exactly like
my characters? One was just in passing around two years ago, one I actually got
to know. Both times, I nearly had a heart attack.
I’m one of those people who knows
exactly what I want to do for the next several years, when I probably shouldn’t
have such a fixed idea yet. I want to go to university in the UK and study
English and History. My brother met his wife at uni... so after that, who
knows? I will always write, though. I have to.
Oh, yes, I have three brothers:
they are six, ten and twelve years older than me. I’ll probably add them to the
“Introducing My Friends” post as soon as I can think of some suitable nicknames
for them. When
I was very small, my youngest brother and I really didn’t get on
(he called me smelly, I hit him with a lamp... the usual) and I would wish I
had a sister, but now I realise I couldn’t have grown up in a better family.
They are the best people you will meet, and I’ve always been treated so well
that nowadays if a boy doesn’t hold a door open for me I feel hopelessly
confused.
I can’t function without a cup of
tea in the mornings. I can take or leave coffee, but I must have my tea. I’m
Irish, what can I say?
I read my horoscope every day.
I tend to agree with people or
not share my opinion about something just so as not to get into an argument...
maybe this is a sign that I’m growing up? However I also don’t tend to say
“sorry” or “pardon” if I don’t hear someone. I just say “mm” and smile. So
perhaps this is just more laziness...
I remember just about everyone
from my past, but they often don’t remember me.
I recently discovered I have little or no control over my own eyebrows.

I am a huge Harry Potter fan.
I am part of a Youth Theatre
group and love acting almost as much as writing. Last year I co-wrote and
starred in a site-specific production, and that was just about as heavenly as
it gets. There was also cake.
I love cake.
Ah, by the way, I seem to be on Google Plus and I'm not sure I fully understand it... if any Wise Owls are reading this, could they explain what it means when people +1 my posts? And any other info I'll need to survive? Love you all.
